Excellent suggestion! Separate lists might be too cumbersome, not only for Legacy, but for those using both versions.
BUT: Posters should be courteous enough to mention in the subject line which version AND update they are using. There has been mention here that some users are not getting notified of new updates. Some problems are solved by updating; some new problems often arise with new updates. Perhaps that could be added to the Guidelines, but much more effective would be an alert posted here by Geoff, perhaps.
